New Showrunner, Directors Tapped For Daredevil: Born Again Series

I hope they will give him an appropriate costume. Didn't care much for how the mask covers the nose. Also the "DD" would look good on the upper left chest.

Dario Scardapane, known for his work on Netflix's Marvel series The Punisher, has been chosen as the new showrunner for Marvel Studios' Daredevil television series. The show is currently undergoing a creative overhaul, and Scardapane will play a key role in shaping its direction.

Having recently directed episodes of Loki season two, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have been brought on board to helm the remaining episodes of Daredevil's first season on Disney+.

Originally, Daredevil: Born Again was in the midst of production in New York when it was halted due to a writers and actors strike. Upon reviewing the footage, Marvel executives decided to take the series in a new creative direction. Chris Ord and Matt Corman, who were initially leading the project as head writers, have since departed.

While some scenes and episodes that have already been shot will be retained, other serialized elements will be introduced to enhance the storytelling. Scardapane will be responsible for writing the new episodes and incorporating the existing footage.

Benson and Moorhead will bring this first season to a close as they take on the role of directing the new episodes. The exact number of episodes for this season is yet to be determined. Corman and Ord will remain involved as executive producers, contributing their expertise to the series.

If that's true, then I'm good with it. I get he's a lawyer but I don't want to watch Matt Murdock, Lawyer. I want to watch Daredevil

My hope is that they show him as a razor sharp lawyer, when they do scenes involving his career. They made him look a mess before (he was a mess) and he needs that high level status back. Being at the top of his game increases his worth, and that money allows him to more freedom to take cases he wants and also have time to be a credible Daredevil.

It really could go either way, people they initially hired weren't really well experienced or well known so hard to care for their vision. Hopefully, they find new creatives who have authentic take and approach good enough to make something on the par with Netflix but you also don't want a cheap imitation of that as well. Something tells me they won't have 18 episodes anymore due to how prohibitively more expensive it got due to new contract rules that were achieved thanks to strikes.

Im glad if theyre delaying it. Theyve seen a problem and they want to make it better. Please content makers, delay what I am looking forward to in order to make it better. Thank you.

This sounds like an upper management issue. When a TV show goes before the cameras, there's a commitment in terms of both money and effort. They have nailed down what they want the show to be by the time the first ep is shot. They know then what they are going to give their audience.....supposedly.So to halt, and reverse course and re-do things from scratch says to me that someone came along and realized that things were either TOO DIFFERENT, or TOO MUCH THE SAME, and called for a re-think.if you look at the critical and audience responses from the prior shows, there's a lot of unevenness to them, hence a lot of mandates coming down from on high. There's a lot of stress to do something that works, to catch eyes and keep them watching.It's not necessarily a bad thing, but neither is it good....it boils down to them throwing s*** at the walls to see what sticks.

Sounds good to me. Take the time to do it right, I say.

I mean, I guess that's good if they're actually trying to make it more like the Netflix show. There were reports that Phase 5 was going to be tweaked for quality over quantity and given that at the moment, I have no idea if anything that was supposed to come out in 2024 is actually coming out next year, I'd say they're making true on their word.

This show was the crown jewel for Netflix. They should try to re-capture that experience

This is good news. I really didn't like what I was hearing about it. Then again with the way things have been going with most Disney+ shows they're probably just going to make it worse.

If that's true, then I'm good with it. I get he's a lawyer but I don't want to watch Matt Murdock, Lawyer. I want to watch Daredevil
